[@rodrigolucena1698]

Previously LED display is so good, but Mini-LED display looks really better, especially when you see in angle (at least from my IPS display perspective). So, the perfect match to me would be a combination: 11" mini-LED iPad. Wow man, these displays are already so amazing, imagine when the micro-LED technology arrives. 🤩️

Don’t listen to the comment below you, it isn’t coming on the 11” model next year.

[@JMulvy]

You are not mistaken, the 12.9" is a little bit thicker. As a digital artist, my biggest gripe with the 12.9" is that because of the Mini LED clusters the glass has to be thicker. Sadly it results in (for the first time ever) a small amount of parallax. Which is the amount of space between the point of the pencil and the actual cursor on the screen. Especially important if you are used to painting in Photoshop, Procreate or Paint Studio and prefer to have your brush outline visible as you work. No matter how much you calibrate it, it will always appear slightly off center. So it will be the 11" for me. Also, due to the extra casing that holds the clusters together, the edges of the display has a dark boundary. If my full screen, digital canvas is not 100% bright white... there is something wrong with the world.

I appreciate the comparison! I spent a lot of time with the new 12.9 and 11 inch next to each other to really get a feel for each of them. I had a 2018 11 and a 2020 12.9 as well. The new 12.9 is MUCH better when playing video but when you’re not, it’s pretty much the same exact quality as the 11. The size difference is pretty massive too. I went for an 11 inch this time but now that I’m going to be working at the office again I wanted the more portable size. I’m also planning on getting the 14 inch MacBook Pro for home when it’s released. Had I not needed to be as portable or planning on a MacBook, the 12.9 was an awesome choice to do about everything.

I just got the 12.9 inch version (upgraded from the iPad Air 3), and I love it, but I kind of regret not getting the 11 inch. I use it a lot for notes, but the 11 inch is so much easier to hold in one hand. To be honest, I only got the 12.9 inch one because of the mini-LED, and it is gorgeous, but you sacrifice portability. It’s starting to feel like it’s not quite the trade-off advantage I wanted. But I’m still happy with it. I’m actually starting to use my iPad as my primary device over my 2018 MacBook Pro, and it is more than capable of being my primary driver. Either way, both versions are excellent. This is a beast of a machine, and it is future-proofed for at least 5+ years. Most people will be happy with either one. Both have unique advantages and disadvantages over the other.

[@MrDakti]

I know what you feel. So far I used 10.5". I try to convince myself to 12.9" although I know 11" is more rational choice for me. That is why I prepared a help list: 11" vs 12.9" wins 4:2 in important points for me (and 3:0 in essential points) so decided to get 11". However even now against rational thinking 12.9" is tempting. I hope someday there will be released 11.9" or 12.0" to make an upgrade after 4-5 years. - Weight: 11" (essential) - Comfort of use / mobility: 11" (essential) - Missing blooming effect: 11" (essential) - Price: 11" - Deeper blacks / no grey background: 12.9" - Bigger workspace for music tools: 12.9"

Sorry guys, the new song doesn't really do it for me. Think about it this way: the old one had a vocal, bass, drums, instrumentation. This new one has mostly electronic synths which means less stuff to "benchmark", especially because it doesn't have vocals like the first one.

[@patrykplaskaty43]

honestly, this is one of the low tier "review" channels. rarely focused on value, very often overephasizing to get the best for the most. point is 95% of tablet users won't need the greatest specs and fastest render times and brightest screens. and it is somewhat annoying that each and every time they pull out essentially pointless benchmark results, that in daily consumption usecase scenarios mean little to nothing. but that is just my take and to each their own. cheers

[@MrEcted]

I had a 12.9 for a year and I could never get used to it. The 11 feels so much better to me, it’s airy and light. Yeah there are compromises but if portability is a priority then it can’t be beat. I wish it had XDR but meh, whatevs.

[@shannawallace7855]

Yeah I think 12.9 is great if your tablet is always just going to be sitting on your desk when you use it. But if you wanna actually hold your tablet in your hands when you use it, 12.9 is too cumbersome.

[@MidlifeGamer]

I love the screen of the 12.9 but portability is the most important thing for me, I want to be able to just stick it in a bag and edit on the go if needed, maybe watch a video whilst I’m sat in the car waiting for my kids to come out of school, that’s why I went 11”, price also a big factor.

[@Codescardbarn]

I would have paid extra if they put mini led into the 11"

[@obidean3964]

It's harder to yield the mini LED on even smaller screen. The cost could be even more to develop than on Pro 12.9 like how LG OLED CX 48 inch and 55 inch not much differ in price ...

[@Chinesed]

Next Year it will

[@HVDynamo]

@@obidean3964 I don't think that's true in this case though. The pixel density is the same, so it is just cutting out a smaller display from the same sheet if you will. That should be easier to hit yields on. Now if the pixels were smaller, I could see your point.

[@obidean3964]

@@HVDynamo No bro, display production doesn't work like that lol. Both iPad Pro screen (11 and 12.9) is cut out from bigger piece typically produced from different line of display fab (factory). And those Mini LED backlighting system is not fully integrated on the display yet btw. It was made by different manufacturers (not by the same display manufacturer, mind you !). Since it's only on bigger 12.9 currently, Apple has specifically ordered the tailored spec for that size like the most optimum amount of LED zones which is 2048 zones etc. Cramming that many concentrated LED on small screen (smaller than TV) is not an easy feat and typically will results in thermal issue which will indirectly affecting the other components. Even though 12.9 vs 11 may seem small numerically but in reality it's way different (y'all know how much bigger the 12.9 iPad Pro right?), still 0.1 inch away from full 2 inches difference. Every inch matters in this case like how typically 15 inch laptop always has more raw power than 13 inch counterpart, even though it's roughly "only" around 2 inches difference. It's for the same reason, thermal handling is always better on larger size. More room for heat to spread out and dissipate through, so can pack in more gut power ... If let's say Apple want to make Mini LED powered 11 inch iPad Pro, the Mini LED backlight panel won't be the same spec as 12.9 version and some areas might have been compromised to make it fit behind an even smaller screen, thus will create quality inconsistency between both iPad Pro and Apple definitely DEFINITELY don't want that. Oh btw pixel density is NOT THE SAME as the physical teeny tiny LEDs behind the screen lol ... Don't get me wrong, I also want the tech to come in the smaller 11 inch Pro as well, it can happen but it won't be very soon. Even if Apple can, I don't think they will, the current positioning of iPad Pro 2021 makes so much more sense since 12.9 version traditionally have been lackluster to justify its existence compared to 11 version. Now that it has Mini LED exclusively, it makes up a compelling selling point as the better multimedia machine and the spacious screen size is cherry on top to complete the cake. My 2 cents ...

[@oaax20]

To my eye, and maybe it's the limitations of watching screen differences on a screen, both displays on the 11 and 12.9 inch iPads are very very good. I went with the 11 inch M1. It's probably future proofed for at least the next 4 years or so. This is my 2nd 11 inch iPad Pro, trading up from the 2018 11 inch. Apple gives 455 dollars trade in value so minus that from the $799 price (I went with 128GB storage, plenty for me) I got the new one for $344. I couldn't pass it up, especially with the M1 chip.

The bigger size on the other gens is better for me…and: They hold well…even the 1. gen is running smooth after all these years! Incredible! The 5. gen is gorgeous!

[@GavinsiOSWorld]

The 11 inch version looks like an iPad mini in Max’s hands 😂

[@MrBigBoy4Life]

I use My iPad is at home 95% of the time so weight and portability is a non issue with me. This is precisely why I went with the 12.9” Pro model and can take full advantage of that big beautiful screen!

It really is hard to choose between these two great iPads. Great video, and thanks for sharing.

[@lgdneuro9586]

One of the things you didnt mention is the Utility of scientific research and Note taking of the 12.9, it is miles ahead better for reading and writing on Scientific pdf....at least for me, also multitasking while reading a pdf and taking notes way better in the 12.9

[@rileygarbitt]

Haha never thought of the 12.9 being to “heavy” just ordered mine today here in Canada ! Should be here by June 3rd Woop woop 🙌

[@Nephi44]

It’s barely a difference in weight. Just shy of 1/2 a pound. If you get the gen 6 keyboard it’s not noticeable with when compared to the gen 3/4 on the 11” iPad Pro. I tested them as stated above. If you do split screen the 12.9 is much better.

[@pressrepeat2000]

I was going to get the 12.9 to watch movies… but I always hold the iPad in one hand, and that doesn’t seem possible with the large iPad. So will stick with the smaller one.

Does 11 inch plays youtube hdr, netflix hdr and does it officially plays true hdr content ? Like hdr videos from video player?

[@cadenchurchill4296]

@@muhammadharis2205 I am actually not 100% sure about that one. Apple’s site doesn’t say anything about HDR support, but when I’m playing HDR content on KZbin it does say it’s HDR and at least to me the image quality is very good. GSMArena’s site also says that the 11” iPad Pro is capable of displaying HDR10 content, so I would assume that it can. Mostly just not quite as well as the mini-LED display on the 12.9” iPad Pro.

Does 11 inch has pwm?

[@dontannenbaum4734]

I certainly agree with your assessment and really like your channel. I have had both sizes in the past and for me the weight of the 12.9” is a major factor. Although I Like the screen size, especially when I was viewing PDF reports that I would need to review, I really recommend the 11” for most people. I do think side by side comparisons don't always help in decision making. If you would just look at each one separately and judge each device on its own merit you can decide whether you like what you see. When you are looking side by side you become more critical of the differences which might not have a big effect in your daily use. I am really looking forward to your review of the 8 vs 16 gigs or ram.

[@cppguy16]

I'd wait for WWDC, because FinalCut for iPad might be announced, which could be important for some of the audience here. And XDR could be a huge advantage for those who shoot HDR on the iPhone. Or just wait for the 11" XDR version.

[@privatejetlag]

hey Max, I watched soo many videos now because for me its really 50/50 which size to get.. both have their benefits and disadvantages but you made my decision easier, going for the 11" cuz I want an ipad feeling and not an almost laptop feeling !

I purchased the 12.9! I do drawing, graphic design, photo and video editing, and constantly watch videos and movies in the dark so it’s a simple decision for my lifestyle! Portability and heaviness also aren’t a big issue for me because when I’m sketching or editing I have my iPad on a stand, and I always carry a big backpack if I’m going out places (girl’s got a lot to take with her anyway). I mostly draw irl on A4 sizes and up so I think sketching on a smaller size screen would really throw off my arm haha

If you’re someone who needs an all in one device, I would go with the 12.9 inch model. If you’re someone who must or already own a laptop then the 11 inch seems much more reasonable, especially for $300 less

[@DDL-n2u]

I agree with this - I think most buyers are Apple folks that have an M1 Air (like me) and maybe an iMac or Mac Mini so its a stretch but I still want it. Ugh.

[@Ethereal184]

@@DDL-n2u Yea I see what you mean, perhaps there is a way you can make something like an Ipad fit in your daily routine. I personally use my Ipad for notes and my m1 macbook air for word documents. Multitasking is difficult with only one device, but two definitely helps

[@peterpayne2219]

I'm loving my 11" M1 Macbook. The promised 9-11 hours of working and watching KZbin seems be fairly accurate. I watched 3-5 hours of youtube while working on my Macbook Pro today, and the M1 11" iPad was at 55% battery, but the 2018 12.9" (with keyboard, which drains some power) would have been at 20%. I love my 11", and if/when Apple updates the 11" to the XDR display, they'll have another purchase from me.

[@jimtipton8888]

Great comparison video. I opted for the 12.9 and came from a 10.5 2017. I like the larger screen because I use split screen and slide over in my daily work flow and I’m a hobbiest photographer. I use it al lot in my truck as well. The larger size for me hasn’t been an issue and I like the extra screen space. I wouldn’t have it without the Magic Keyboard.

If the 11 inch had the display of the larger that would pretty much be a done deal for me.
